One of the best things about streaming video services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video on Demand is that entire seasons of popular television shows are available to watch at once, one episode after another. However, that's often not the way the directors and producers intended their show to be watched. What do you do? Do you power through multiple episodes or seasons in one sitting (like this clip from Portlandia above,) or do you stretch out your streaming TV shows one episode at a time, giving each a few days or weeks to sink in?

With the Netflix original series House of Cards, producers had to adapt "airing" a season at a time, not just an episode a week. They had to tell a story in 13-episode segments, without the ability to make on-the-fly changes mid-season based on audience reaction. We're more curious whether this method of watching TV has changed the way you enjoy it. Do you feel like you're missing out when you can watch a whole series at once and don't have new episodes dangled in front of you every week, or do you only use streaming services to catch up on shows that aired a long time ago? Do you reserve streaming for certain kinds of shows and watch others live?
